Abstract
The technical advances in endoscopic ultrasonograpy (EUS) and accessories have enabled performing EUS-guided intervention in the pancreas and biliary tract. Many research centers have been performing or investigating EUS-guided drainage, EUS-guided celiac plexus neurolysis and block, EUS-guided anastomosis that includes choledocho-enterostomy and choledocho-gastrostomy, EUS-guided ablation and injection therapy mainly for pancreatic neoplasm, EUS-guided photodynamic therapy and EUS-guided brachytherapy. Some of these are currently clinical applications and others are under investigations in clinical studies or animal models. Further detailed randomized controlled clinical trials and the development of materials will bring us into a new era of therapeutic EUS.
